No more battery swapping

No more spare batteries or lengthy recharging periods. With FastCharge™, your operations will not be disrupted, as our fast charging stations handle charging in just a few minutes, during idle time in the work-cycle.

With proven battery technology, Kalmar FastCharge™ will give you faster turnaround times, increased productivity with an over 90% utility rate, less noise and zero emissions at the point of use.

Best of both worlds

The Kalmar FastCharge solution consists of electric powered straddle carriers and fast charging stations. You can choose the fully electric FastCharge Straddle Carrier or the new FastCharge Hybrid Straddle Carrier. With our hybrid technology, you can expand the machine’s operating area into locations in the terminal where electrification is not possible or feasible, and move gradually towards a fully electric power solution if needed.

The charging station, with its pantograph direct current charging system, is located flexibly on the working route of the machines in the terminal. The machine has modern Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which enable fast charging. Charging occurs during idle time in the machine's working cycle, when it has stopped to wait for the container. The typical charging time in operation is 30 to 180 seconds; with a maximum charging power of 600 kW, a full charge can be achieved in just a few minutes.
